Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael:
Playlist
from March 4, 2016

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Well my coworker won't listen to the GTDS stream in the morning so I think I have it worse than you Lane.

And when the primer pump doesn't work, it takes two cans of ether to prime a Paccar motor. Feeding it enough ether to keep it going til it roars to life...

Yet another positive comment on the music today from a coworker walking into the office...continued from Doug's show. Very interesting that each of these coworkers has drastically different tastes...FMU's got something for everyone!

Somehow Bronwyn got her hands on a kid's home made adventure of a superhero named Rubbernman. I can't remember if she narrated it or played tapes of it; I might have an aircheck somewhere.

that sound that accompanies the snare...or maybe it is a snare...sounds kinda like a woodblock with tons of reverb, no?

I'm going to have to dig into her archives.

I still think the music Irwin's been opening his show with for a good # of yrs. now sounds like Man From UNCLE. It may be that the TV show's theme was ripped off the show tune.

Nice Lane! I have actually never played a pedal steel. One day... Do they require a lot of maintenance? I played some lap at a gig a couple of weeks ago through my acoustic guitar amp and it actually sounded decent enough.

"inverted French 6-9 chord"--Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Do the French have their own inverted 6/9 chords? They can be so difficult...

Quick hello, Uncle. Been listening.
Starry Eyes, reminds me of an English band around this time called Starry Eyed and Laughing. After the Dylan song. Bit of a Byrds biased band. Seem to recall having the first album.

No Sleep Till Canaby Island is worth the $35 bucks or so. You could make three movies out of it, easily. Order it direct from the author (don't have the info handy.

It's a smooth ride now, Brian. Bonehead cost me 3.5 hours earlier. Last night's ISIHAC was brilliant. One song to the tune of another: Sometimes When We Touch to Scotland the Brave and Bob the Builder to Girl From Ipanema.

It seems like right when the industry was peaking is when the most complaint songs appeared. I think the amount of money being bickered over now is much less. Hopefully Talyor Swift will write something about it... not.

The Bang Obligation sessions partake of both themes in part, no? Royalty Check, Have a Danish?

I had an idea about a decade or so ago, when I had one of those early large mp3 players made by "Creative" that recorded in mp3 and uncompressed wave file format. My idea was to digitally record concerts for unsigned bands, make mp3's of their songs, and sell their songs for them directly to fans from a web site.
